  • A Yellow card is a sin-bin offense where the player is sent to the touchline for a period of ten minutes normally. The red card is immediate sending off. The player leaves the field of play and must not stand on the touch line. There is no return to play for this person and following a red card offense this usually means a time ban period for the player concerned where they will not be allowed to play.
  • The first shown yellow card means that the player will get 10 minutes in the "sin bin" off the field of play.
  • The second time a yellow card is shown to the same player will force a red card to also be shown. The player must leave the field of play and may also be banned from playing in a number of matches based on the reason.
  • For a dangerous type of play i.e. gouging, spear tackling, strainght arm tackling or stamping this is a red immediately and the player is sent off with a citing to be banned for a period of time.

In soccer a yellow card is issued as a warning for committing a foul that is not so serious. A red card on the other hand is issued for serious offences or for someone who had received a yellow card earlier.

Cards are shown when a player or substitute is guilty of misconduct.

A player or substitute is cautioned by the showing of a yellow card. It is an official warning to the player.

A player or substitute is sent off by the showing of a red card. This player must leave the field and the vicinity of the field. If it was a player, they may not be substituted for. Many leagues and tournaments also require that this player sit out the next match as well.

There are specific offenses that merit a caution or a send off. One of the send off offenses is when a player receives two cautions in the same match. Once any player or substitute receives their second caution in the same match a send off will then follow.

Basically a yellow card is a caution. A red is punishment, if you receive two yellows in one game you will get a red card. A red card punishment is when you are 'sent off' the pitch and the player is no longer allowed to play and receives a temporary ban usually 1 - 3 games depending on the rules of the Soccer/Football league.

A yellow card is used as a warning. There is no direct punishment for this (other than a fine). However, a red card means an immediate dismissal from the field of play. A red card can be gained by the issuing of a second yellow card.

A yellow card is just a caution, warning the player not to repeat the mistake he/she did to earn the yellow card. A red card sends the player off of the playing field. As a referee, we give yellow cards is someone makes a 100% misconduct, for example hitting, spitting, tripping, etc. If a player receives two yellow cards, then that results in an automatic red card. We also give a player a red card if that player is intentionally trying to injure a player. Or they are being completely dangerous to the players around him/her. And finally we give a player a red card for not fixing a problem after receiving a caution/yellow card.

A yellow card is a warning, and two yellow cards equal a red card, which is where the player is sent off. A player may receive a straight red card.
